Evening gents. I'm new to this board, and hardly an expert on shaving brushes. However I have a current interest and I'm learning as much as I can.
On the other hand I am a blacksmith, with 50 years of working/forging cutting edges. I sharpen every cutting edge I make or own on Japanese waterstones. Nothing better IMO.
Here's little jewel I inherited from my father who was a Navy Commander. It's approximately 6" tall and 1-1/2" at the base. It's unused in it's original Woodward and Lothrup box.
And as you can see it is beautiful 100% real ivory and badger.
Good part is it's engraved on the back with the Woodward and Lothrup name. Not sure of the date of manufacture. I'm guessing 30's r 40's.
Cheers,
Waterstone53
